One of the William Castle shockers to be revived, complete with gimmicks.

Ready for joy buzzers, rubber skeletons and things that go bump in the theater?

Then get down to Manhattan's Film Forum for a special program of William Castle films, starting today.

How special? Well, repertory programmer (and Castle aficionado) Bruce Goldstein has programmed these movies the way they were meant to be seen -- and the way most folks haven't seen them in 50 years.

That means complete with all the original gimmicks, tricks and general unashamed ballyhoo that Castle could muster.

So, yes, "The Tingler" will get loose in the thesater. A "punishment poll" will be taken to decide the end of "Mr. Sardonicus" (wonder how that one will turn out?) And, best of all, "House on Haunted Hill" again comes complete with "Emergo."

There will be a few more purely historical surprises, too, including the producer's started-it-all-shocker, the rarely revived "Macabre." And new prints of his more conventional B-movie mystery series, "The Whistler."

Visit the Film Forum site for details. And take a trip downtown -- and straight back in the long-gone days of showmanship.
